Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

[Extraction successful! Strength +30!]

[Extraction successful! Constitution +35!]

[Extraction successful! Agility +28!]

Jiang Chuan killed monsters and extracted loot along the way. With the self-healing of the Eternal Body and the immunity to control effects of the Tian Shu Gem, he didn't need to worry about defense at all. He just stood there and kept attacking, killing wherever he went.

In less than half an hour.

He has fought his way from the city's outskirts to the central area.

The street behind them was littered with the corpses of mutated fishmen, their dark green blood forming a stream that flowed down the cracks in the stone pavement.

Jiang Chuan opened the attribute panel and glanced at it. He had increased his attributes by at least two thousand points along the way.

The harvest was plentiful.

Ahead was a huge plaza, in the center of which stood a trapezoidal pyramid made entirely of obsidian.

The top of the tower is the royal court of the merfolk.

Dozens of mutated fish-men were scattered across the square.

On the stone steps in the very center of the square, crouched a monster that was clearly two sizes larger than its counterparts.

It is over three meters long, and its upper body barely retains a humanoid outline.

But his muscles were bulging like tree roots, and his skin was covered with a thick layer of dark green scales.

Its head was more normal than those of the smaller monsters; at least it had a complete face.

But on that face were two rows of dark green vertical pupils.

Eighteen eyes moved simultaneously.

Simultaneously focus.

They spotted Jiang Chuan.

【The Mutant Fishman King: ???】

King.

It is a collective term for the eighth-order alien races.

Because among the alien races, only those of royal blood have a chance to break through to the eighth rank, this has become a fixed term over time.

The appearance of a king from another race in the coastal region is a disaster for the human race.

Taking advantage of the sea creatures.

Even if several celestial generals were dispatched, it would be difficult to kill him!

But for Jiang Chuan now, it's just a matter of shooting a couple more arrows.

The mutated merman general let out a low growl.

Push off the ground with all four limbs.

Its massive body slammed into Jiang Chuan like a cannonball.

Wherever it went, its claws ploughed four deep furrows into the stone slabs, leaving a dark green trail of corrosion in the air.

Jiang Chuan drew the Nine Luminaries Star Bow to its full extent with a backhand motion, and the silvery-white starlight condensed into an arrow.

"Starfall!"

boom!!

Driven by 40,000 points of strength, the Starfall Arrow struck the murloc general squarely in the chest with ten times the damage factor.

A burst of silvery starlight exploded into a blinding ball of light, and the fishman general's scales, which were strong enough to withstand the main cannons of a warship, were instantly pierced through, leaving a hole as thick as a bucket.

Dark green blood and fragments of internal organs gushed out of the hole. The merman general let out an extremely shrill scream. His massive body was thrown backward by the impact and crashed heavily onto the stone steps of the pyramid, shattering the entire section of steps.

-1680000!

-1680000!

Crit!

dizziness!

A spinning dizziness icon popped up above the merman's head. His massive body convulsed in the rubble, all eighteen of his eyes rolled back, and he was unable to get up for a moment.

Jiang Chuan didn't give it a chance to wake up; the second arrow was already nocked on the bowstring.

Then came the third one.

The fourth one!

The three-star [Yi] talent, with its accompanying dual attack effect, allows him to trigger the execution curse with just four arrows.

-4800000!

The black, instant-death number flashed by, and the murloc general's body exploded with a bang.

Jiang Chuan casually cleared away the surrounding monsters, then walked to the corpse, found a large piece of tissue, and activated the Extraction of All Things.

hum!

A blinding golden light exploded from the corpse.

[Extraction successful! Talent acquired - Intelligence Enhancement!]

[Wisdom Enhancement: Rank B, One Star, Wisdom attribute increased by an additional 25%, and an additional 50% judgment bonus when making wisdom judgments]

[You have acquired enhancement talents for four basic attributes, triggering a special mechanism! Constitution enhancement, Intelligence enhancement, Strength enhancement, and Agility enhancement will merge into—Four-Dimensional Resonance. The new talent will retain all effects of the original talents. Confirm?]

Sure!

The four talents on Jiang Chuan's panel immediately began to flash, transforming into a beam of light, and finally merging into a brand new talent.

[Four-Dimensional Resonance: Rank A, One Star, All attributes are increased by an additional 35%, and an additional 60% bonus is applied when performing all attribute checks. The maximum attack limit will be reliably triggered when the difference between the four attributes does not exceed 10%.]

The new talent is more powerful than all four original talents combined.

It also has an additional special effect.

Quite formidable.

Jiang Chuan's current attack stat with the Nine Star Bow buff is 86790~151322, with the upper and lower limits differing by almost double.

With this talent, any of his attacks will be able to reliably trigger the attack cap of 151322, resulting in an epic boost to his damage output!

Jiang Chuan stood up and stretched his shoulders.

at this time.

With nearly 70,000 points of intelligence attribute, his perception of the surrounding environment is refined to the millimeter.

This feeling is even more pleasant than a surge of power.

He put away the panel, his gaze passing over the rubble and debris in the square, and landing on the massive palace gate at the top of the pyramid.

The gate was taller than the city wall, and was made entirely of deep blue coral, with its surface inlaid with dense fish bones and shells.

Jiang Chuan stepped forward and slammed his hand on the door.

The palm strike, with 70,000 points of strength attribute, was like a thunderclap.

The two giant doors blasted open inwards simultaneously.

The hinge broke.

Coral fragments flew everywhere.

The fish bones and seashells embedded in the door panel were shaken and fell off.

Behind the door was a dark corridor with twelve stone pillars on both sides, each covered with thick seaweed.

Upon reaching the deepest part of the royal court, one finds a massive circular hall with a dome twenty feet high, inlaid with countless fist-sized luminous pearls, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

The walls of the main hall are covered with bas-reliefs depicting the history of the merfolk from ancient times to the present:

campaign,

Migration

exile,

They built this isolated city deep in the sea... and then it declined.

In the very center of the hall stands a massive obsidian throne.

The throne was over three zhang high.

A much larger figure sat atop it.

It is nearly five meters long from head to toe, and its whole body is covered with a layer of dark blue scales with golden luster at the edges, showing a faint tendency to transform into dragon scales.

Its head is no longer like that of an ordinary fish; its unusually long tentacles curl and hang down, and its head and horns are prominent.

more like...

A dragon about to take human form!

But it's too old.

The gaps between the scales were filled with grayish-white parasites, like a grayish-white fungal carpet, covered with countless tiny pustules, just like the pustules on the surface of the buildings outside.

A putrid stench permeated the air.

The air in the main hall was so stuffy that it was almost impossible to breathe.

Its eyes were cloudy and white. The moment Jiang Chuan stepped into the hall, its eyes slowly turned, and a huge spiritual power surged out from the throne like a tide, trying to invade Jiang Chuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered.

Clear and bright weather soon.

A system notification then rang in my ears.

[You have been subjected to a mental attack, but because your Intelligence attribute exceeds 20000 points, the assessment was successful! You are now immune to this mind control effect!]

Before gaining enhanced intelligence, this mental shock might have made Jiang Chuan frown.

But now, after activating the domain, it is blessed with nearly 70,000 intelligence attributes.

This unknown spiritual force struck his mind.

Like waves crashing against the rocks.

It shattered into countless droplets of water without even creating a ripple.

The merman king on the throne groaned, suffering a backlash that caused his body to writhe strangely, as if about to undergo an uncontrollable mutation.

It opened its mouth in pain and uttered a series of indistinct syllables.

Jiang Chuan couldn't understand its language.

But it directly captured the thoughts surging deep within the other person's mind.

"Kill...me..."
